Are you tired of the Democratic party?Are you tired of the Republican party?Are you tired of a Congress that does nothing?Are you tired of having twice as many lobbyists as they’ve ever had before?

Then I…I have an idea.Don’t vote for the congressman or senators.You don’t have to vote.Know how we’re gonna pick ‘em?The same way we pick a jury.And you’ll get a more interesting cross section than the folks you got right now.I guarantee it.

Do you want a better healthcare system?You have an HMO that says, “We’ll give you Viagra, but we won’t pay for glasses.” So you can have a hard-on, but you can’t see where to put it. We’re gonna change it, aren’t we?

And we’re not just talking liberal or conservative-big-time change.

You know recently, a lot of the past administrations said it’s unpatriotic to question the government. If it was unpatriotic to question the government, we’d still be English! The Boston Tea Party…the Boston Tea Party wasn’t people going, “Oh hello.” It was a lot of guys in Boston going, “Here’s your tea, right here”.

I’m tired of the Democratic partyI’m tired of the Republican party

Here’s what we’re talking about Freedom of Speech and it also comes down to the idea of freedom of religion, the idea of practicing any religion you want, anytime, anywhere. You could be anything. You could be Bewish – Jewish and Buddhist. You sit and you wait for things to go on sale. That’s okay. But that’s what we’re talking about. But occasionally religion crosses over-you have people saying intelligent design, “You must teach intelligent design”. Look at the human body. Is that intelligent? I find it more interesting you have a waste processing plant next to a recreation area.

They always attack environmentalists saying, “You’re a tree hugger”. I go, “No, I’ve done more than hug a tree.” If you find the right naughty pine, you’re gonna have a good night. Oh yeah. “Who’s your woodsman, who’s your woodsman?” I’m not just a tree hugger, I’m an air breather. I’m sorry. It’s bad enough with the squirrels going…”Please help me. I can’t breathe today.” If you put enough chemicals in the water, you’ll be fishing, going, “You know Bob, I love catching them two-headed bass. They’re good eatin’ once you get past the tumors. There’s some good eatin’ out there.”

I’m tired of the Democratic partyNow I’m tired of the Republican party

Now that’s why we’re here–‘cause you want change! Yeah! You wanna shake it up! You have to be eyes wide open, ready to move on! Arm in arm, hand in hand, everybody together, moving forward, because the future is now!

This speech is eerily familiar to what we’re hearing on the campaign trail, and indeed this speech was part of a recent campaign–from 2006, in fact. It was given by one Tom Dobbs.

Tom Dobbs, though, doesn’t exist except as a character in a Barry Levinson film titled “Man of the Year”, starring Robin Williams as the aforementioned Tom Dobbs.

We already know BHO plagiarizes speeches from friends and acquaintenances. We know he doesn’t have an original thought in his head. We know he’s a relatively eloquent speaker–unless he has no teleprompter. And his eloquence is nothing but a cover for fluff, smoke and mirrors and a complete lack of a platform, full of platitudes but short on solutions.

BHO is the perfect empty suited emperor, mimicking a movie character who, while charismatic and eloquent, was also full of smoke and mirrors while short on actual solutions. Both BHO and Dobbs can whip a crowd into a frenzy like rock stars, yet once the lights are turned off, the crowds have gone home and there’s nothing left but the trash on the floor, what have either done to elicit thought? Engage the brain? Have you ruminating about what was said while brushing your teeth?

Sadly, when one tries to think about what was said during a BHO speech (or a Dobbs speech), one must rack their brain to remember anything other than a bunch of noise.

There are no solutions in the speeches. There is no substance. A lot of hype. A lot of feel good rhetoric. Lots of lights, smoke, mirrors, balloons, confetti…but not much else.

At the end of the movie, though, Dobbs is one thing BHO most decidedly ISN’T–honest. After realizing he didn’t win the election after all, due to a computer glitch, he rescinds his office (despite advice to the contrary, given by his trusted advisors–who repeatedly tell him no one will know he’s not the REAL president unless he blows it and reveals the truth). BHO and Dobbs do seem to have the same advisors.

Go read the Dobbs campaign trail speech again. See how much of BHO’s plagiarism you can find. And remember–Dobbs, while fictional, had shady advisors–yet he overcame their bad advice and redeemed himself. BHO will never do so. He revels in being, at the least, a plagiarist–and at the most, a typical, crooked politician.

A real army wife’s response to ObamaArmy wives. For a huge part of the American population, “Army Wives” is the name of a prime time show on television. Unless you are connected to the military, as a viewer you will have no idea how accurate the portrayal of Army life really is.

However, REAL army wives – oh, you know those who LIVE the military life, day in, day out – are very aware of the inaccuracies, of the absurdities of what is portrayed. And yes, most army wives are very politically aware.

Brenda Freeman is one such army wife, and she is one pissed off wife. Freeman, who has been an army wife for 35 years as her husband has fought for the US, has a dose of her own reality she is dishing out. Freeman sent me the following:

I watch a bit of television. Most all of it is History Channel, Science Channel, Discovery Channel, and so forth. Brain Food I call it. I do not like reality TV of ANY kind, or soap operas. Last time I checked, an Opera was comprised of musical talent and a stage, neither of which Soaps contain.

However, I do keep track of nonsensical programs that try to mimic military life or military drama. I mostly do this to pick it apart, and either blog it to death, and write nasty grams, or send posts on their web sites through the roof pointing out all of their flaws and oversights and errors. Hey, I get my kicks occasionally. (shrug)

So… the latest on my list is Army Wives. It is on Lifetime Channel. Yea yea yea so what. The point is, I watched it all season last year, and it was “ok” with a few things wrong here and there, I overlooked them.

This year is off to an odd start, and I have sent only ONE email complaining that an American Soldier would NOT blow himself up in defiance of a problem – regardless of PTSD, he would shoot a M**F**ker first, “one and done” type deal. HADJI’s and terrorists are the chicken Shiites that blow themselves up! Get the SCRIPT RIGHT dumb asses! I hate writers sometimes –But last night I was pissed. No, pissed doesn’t begin to describe my mood. It was beyond pissed. I can’t even find a word for it still.

BETRAYED fits.

In the middle of the program there are commercials. One 30 second spot commercial was BHO, saying “Never forget the sacrifices the military spouses make. Then he went on to say that HE KNOWS its hard waiting for your loved one to come home on R&R, and the agony of never really knowing if they are ok or not, and so forth. It is tough being a military spouse. He knows. For more on military spouses, visit Lifetime TV.

WELL! What the hell!! First of all, it hasn’t been called R&R since WWll. It is called LEAVE.

Second of all, what point of reference does he have for “knowing” anything about the trials and tribulations of a military spouse? NADA! ZILCH! NONE!

Third, what does he know about the military? (See previous comments.)

Fourth, excuse me, but aren’t you the same Jr Senator who votes NO on military spending time and time again? Why yes… yes you are! So I repeat myself – WHAT THE HELL!

Fifth, isn’t it interesting that most of the time, commercial ads have a little logo in the lower right sidebar that say who the ad was paid for by, and lo and behold, from the verbiage, and the LOGO, Lifetime took this cookie! Yes, I looked and pay attention!

So, I gathered the typical information such as who writes for the show, who directs the show, who financially supports the show, and so forth, and sent them all a nasty gram.

I AM OFFENDED. TOTALLY and COMPLETELY OFFENDED.

I also added a post to their blog. I sent emails, and so far today, over 6104 people have done the same from blog spot, my space, and several other places like yahoo, and MSN groups.

PATRIOTS ARE NOT HAPPY that we can not simply sit and watch a program without ***** (sorry! I did edit this somewhat… insert your own name for BHO. lol) being shoved in our faces. And to have him speak about knowing a damn thing about the military is blasphemy! That is actually similar to me saying I know a thing or two about flying to the moon because I saw it once on the NASA station and went to the Cape to see a shuttle launch. Yep, know all about it, sure do. NOT.

Ok, I am done ranting. For now. Sheesh.

Brenda.

My question has to be: Do you think if someone sent this to Obama, he would actually “get” ANYTHING that Freeman is saying? For him to get any sense of what Freeman says here, would demand a radical “change” in who he is. Not going to hold my breath “hoping” for him to get a clue.

Today, in my stroll through my daily reads, I ran across not one, not two, , not three, but FOUR articles at Real Clear Politics regarding the utter arrogance of Obama and his latest idiocy.

Good grief, I feel dirty even thinking the man’s name–ugh. He becomes more distasteful on a minute-by-minute basis and it’s getting to the point whenever I hear his name, the very next thing to cross my mind is, “Oh God, NOW what!”

Whoever, except as authorized under regulations promulgated by the President and published in the Federal Register, knowingly manufactures, reproduces, sells, or purchases for resale, either separately or appended to any article manufactured or sold, any likeness of the seals of the President or Vice President, or any substantial part thereof, except for manufacture or sale of the article for the official use of the Government of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.

What picture? What was this little tidbit? I schlepped on over to see and found this picture:

Like the character of Sinclair Lewis’ novel [It Can’t Happen Here], Buzz Windrip, Barack Obama sweeps throngs of people up in whirlwind of pagentry and windy rhetoric.

The entire article is WELL worth reading.

Moving right along at RCP, I came upon the NEXT article addressing this issue, “The Great Seal of Obamaland” at the NYT Caucus blog and a quick quote from THIS article (wow the NYT ALLOWED this dissension to be published? Sultz must be on vacation!:

Just above the eagle’s head are the words “Vero Possumus,” roughly translated “Yes we can.” Not exactly E Pluribus Unum (Out of Many, One), the motto on the presidential seal and the dollar bill. Then again, Mr. Obama is not the president.

It appears Obama has been in touch with Diebold and decided to let the cat out of the bag early. That’s right, voters, you can stay home. As the good half-people of Florida and Michigan learned, democracy doesn’t matter. His Highness Obama — with an assist from the wise, hardened, probing American media — has declared himself Holy American Emperor.

It seems Barack Hussein Obama goes out of his way to show his arrogance, snobbery, elitism and disdain for “ordinary folk” as we cling to our guns and religion. It seems he has no concept of reality and is truly living in a fantasyland brought about by constant association with crooks, thieves, liars, terrorists domestic and foreign. He so desperately wants the Kennedy mantle, Michelle so desperately wants the Jackie O mantle–and yet, there is absolutely nothing, NOTHING there to back up the rhetoric. Nothing.

He has yet to address anything of substance, preferring to continue the ridiculous whining and crying over race and every single perceived–PERCEIVED–slight of anything anyone says. I’m sure he would prefer each of our mouths and brains were put into a lockable freezer and tossed in the deepest crevice in the Antarctic. Thought police, though control, censoring the First Amendment–while decrying it all as perceived slights. And simultaneously showing his incredible, insufferable, arrogant ego. He thinks we’re still in the early 60’s, politics wise. He was barely cognizant of life in the early 60’s, let alone politics. And what he was cognizant of was learning islam in the madrassas, under the tutelage of his muslim father and stepfather. Of course, there was the socialism counterbalance of his mother when he got home as well.

He gleefully assumes we are all just hanging on his every word with baited breath.

He assumes we fall into lockstep with his “Messiah” image so much so he can now take liberties with the Presidential Seal.

Here’s a clue, BHO–Get over yourself. Start addressing the issues as to how they relate in the 21st century. Real issues like foreign and domestic terrorism. Taxes (you really think we’re stupid enough to allow you to give our hard earned money away in your pet projects? You’re NUTS!), oil, not falling for political scams (globull warming anyone?). Start acting like someone presidential if you want to be president. This isn’t a game, this is life, real life, and you better come to the table prepared to act like an adult instead of like a child just promoted from the baby table. Or, maybe you were promoted to the adult table too quickly and need to be returned to the baby table.

You are an atrocity, Barry. A pimple on the nose of this great country. Once the pus is drained, nothing is left but a big hole of nothing. You are that big hole of nothing.

You are an atrocity, Barry. A pimple on the nose of this great country. Once the pus is drained, nothing is left but a big hole of nothing. You are that big hole of nothing.

Lately it seems as if BHO is extremely thin skinned, irritable, argumentative, and self centered. No matter what is said, or by whom, he thinks it’s all about him. No matter what happens in the news, he again thinks it’s all about him or a perfect time to pimp himself.

For example, Bush said this (and about damn time, too):

Some seem to believe that we should negotiate with the terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along. We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: “Lord, if I could only have talked to Hitler, all this might have been avoided.” We have an obligation to call this what it is — the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history. (Applause.)

BHO countered with this:

“It is sad that President Bush would use a speech to the Knesset on the 60th anniversary of Israel’s independence to launch a false political attack,” Obama said in a statement released to CNN by his campaign. “It is time to turn the page on eight years of policies that have strengthened Iran and failed to secure America or our ally Israel….”

“George Bush knows that I have never supported engagement with terrorists, and the president’s extraordinary politicization of foreign policy and the politics of fear do nothing to secure the American people or our stalwart ally Israel,” Obama’s statement said.

Lieberman said this:

“President Bush got it exactly right today when he warned about the threat of Iran and its terrorist proxies like Hamas and Hezbollah. It is imperative that we reject the flawed and naïve thinking that denies or dismisses the words of extremists and terrorists when they shout “Death to America” and “Death to Israel,” and that holds that—if only we were to sit down and negotiate with these killers—they would cease to threaten us. It is critical to our national security that our commander-in-chief is able to distinguish between America’s friends and America’s enemies, and not confuse the two.”

McCain said this:

“Yes, there have been appeasers in the past, and the president is exactly right, and one of them is Neville Chamberlain. I believe that it’s not an accident that our hostages came home from Iran when President Reagan was president of the United States. He didn’t sit down in a negotiation with the religious extremists in Iran, he made it very clear that those hostages were coming home.’’

Asked if he thought Mr. Obama was an appeaser — the Democratic candidate has said he would be willing to meet with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the president of Iran — Mr. McCain sidestepped and said, “I think that Barack Obama needs to explain why he wants to sit down and talk with a man who is the head of a government that is a state sponsor of terrorism, that is responsible for the killing of brave young Americans, that wants to wipe Israel off the map, who denies the Holocaust. That’s what I think Senator Obama ought to explain to the American people.’’

BHO countered with this:

“That was frustrating enough,” he said of Bush’s words. “Then John McCain gives a speech. He gave a speech in the morning where he talked about the need for civility in our politics. He talked about elevating the tone in our country … Not an hour later, he turned around and embraced George Bush’s attacks on Democrats. He jumped on a call with a bunch of bloggers and said that I wasn’t fit to protect this nation that I love.”

McCain “accused me of not being fit to protect this nation — a nation my grandfather served in World War II — a nation that’s given me everything that I have,” Obama said, then pivoted to attack Bush and McCain on a series of issues: Iraq; the survival of Osama bin Laden’s and Al Qaeda’s leadership; Iran’s strength; and Hamas’ and Hezbollah’s ascendancy.

And on and on.

Today, Sen. Ted Kennedy was taken to the hospital with stroke like symptoms and it was later determined to be at least two seizures. Now, I’m not Kennedy’s largest fan. However, unlike those on the left who wished Nancy Reagan would DIE, who rejoiced when Ronnie did die and who held parties over Ronnie’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis, I don’t wish the man ill. I do think this would be a wonderful opportunity for him to retire with dignity, though.

This is BHO’s “response”:

…told reporters he has “been in contact with the [Kennedy] family.”

“They are in our thoughts and prayers,” Obama said. “As I have said many times before, Ted Kennedy is a giant in American political history. He has done more for health care of others than just about anybody in history and so we are going to be rooting for him. And I insist on being optimistic about how it’s going to turn out.”

He just had to get in his little stump speech, didn’t he? He couldn’t even leave it alone; someone else was getting the attention he felt he should be getting. What he was really saying was this:

Reminds me of another democrat who whines when he doesn’t get the spotlight-“BJ Clinton”. It seems both suffer from ADD–Adulation Deficit Disorder.
